This was a job reference from a couple of friends who are selling their home they are in and moving down the street in Augusta. They hired me to put a layer of sheetrock in their bathroom over their crumbling ceiling and then mud and prime it. I also put in a new light fixture to make their bathroom look nicer, as well as a shower pole kit for their old claw-foot cast iron tub. Check it out.

This job was my first opportunity to do work in a place where it could be featured publicly in a way, I felt very inspired to go above and beyond on this one. I purchased dust barrier tools and to keep from covering this restaurant completely in dust! The owner of the restaurant came up with a creative plan to make more space in her kitchen by blowing through one wall and essentially boxing in the fridge in its own little pocket. It was not a fridge that gets hot on the sides, so we were safe to create a space just big enough for the fridge. However we did have an electrical conduit that was coming up from just under the fridge, through 16" of concrete. For a short time it was unclear if the line was going to keep the fridge from moving into its new corner. It just made it! Check out the photos!

This is the counter section that the owner will be commissioning me to replace. As you can tell, particle-board stands not to the test of time and water! This section was removed and temporarily braced to allow for the expansion off the kitchen.

About This Wood Warrior

Enthusiasm for the industrial arts came about ever since I could play Legos as a very young child and once I reached an age where the design of homes was itching at my curiosity, it was all over from then on. I have been fortunate to work for a few carpenters alike who have shown me many tricks to the trade of construction. After working under so many contractors, it was decided that I was going into business for myself, J.S. Industrial Arts Co; while also going to school at Central Maine Community College for the latest education and practices in Building and Construction Technology. My courses and school resources give me an advantage in the field I feel separates me from other builders in a positive way. If I have questions, they get answered and not from just another builder but a competent and experienced educator who's job it is to teach up to date information as well as stay tuned to the latest and best building practices.
